6 Tips to Help Conquer Your Long Distance Move

Living in a new, faraway place can
be exciting, exhilarating and completely life changing. The actual packing up
and moving to that new place? Not so much. Moving is rarely fun, and making a
long-distance move can be downright nerve wracking. However, with proper
planning and these tips from the expert Tampa long distance movers at We Do Moving, you
can make the move as painless as possible.

Hire
a Moving Company

Moving far away can be expensive
and labor intensive, but not hiring movers can potentially cost you more. The
lifting, packing and transportation of your items creates a lot of
opportunities for you to damage your belongings, and even worse, your body.

Fortunately, professional
movers have all the necessary equipment to pack, wrap and disassemble your
belongings. You also won’t run the risk of severely injuring yourself trying to
lift large pieces or climbing up and down stairs dozens of time.

Declutter

Decluttering before your move
will actually save you money on moving costs. This is because moving prices are
calculated based on how much your items weigh, not just the distance they are
travelling.

Make even more money by selling
the stuff you aren’t keeping and use it to make your new place even better and
fresher.

Keep
Essential Items with You

No matter how well planned your
move is, there is still a good chance that there will be a gap in time between
when you arrive and when all your belongings show up. To save yourself a lot of
trouble, keep anything you will need with you when you first arrive, including:

Personal
Documents

Important
Paperwork

Personal Care
Products, Clothing and Bedding

Computer/Electronic
Devices

Don’t
Pack Food or Liquid

Your move can become messy when
boxes are packed with foods and liquids.
In the hustle and bustle of the move, food could become damaged and
spill – even leak out of the box and damage your other items.

Liquids can also run the same
risk – especially cleaning supplies. Professional Tampa long distance movers
will not be able to transport your cleaning supplies, so it’s best to leave
them behind and start fresh at your new home.

Mark
Boxes with Your Name

It is common for moving trucks
to take items from several customers in one load during a long-distance trip.
Taking a few extra minutes to write your name in permanent marker on all your
boxes can save you and fellow movers a lot of trouble when it comes time to
sort everything out.

Make
Sure Your House is Ready

In the excitement and chaos associated with a
move it can be easy to overlook some basics including:

Utilities

Address Change

Building Stipulations/Accessibility
